On the whole, we had a lovely short stay at this quirky boutique hotel in the centre of charming Alpbach, an hour’s drive from Innsbruck airport. A warm welcome, complimentary drink on arrival and our room being ready ahead of check-in after an early flight was a great start to our break. Room was well-appointed with 2 bathrooms. Bed was really comfortable. Room itself was a little warm during the night. We couldn’t find a control to turn down the heating, so would have the window open for a while. The toiletries were high end organic and smelt divine but sadly didn’t suit my sensitive skin. I was disappointed for there not to be a coffee maker in the room. I’m more of a coffee in the morning kind of girl than herbal tea as pleasant as they were. Didn’t really miss a mini bar with the bar downstairs and a Spar shop in the centre for snacks. The food was a definite highlight of our stay. Superb selection at breakfast and snack time on the half board package. Loved the selection of breads, cold cuts and cheeses, smoked salmon, salad bar, etc. the Apple strudel with cream was delicious. The 6-course evening meal was a real treat with high quality ingredients and presentation. Rudolf and the blonde Czech lady gave stand out service in the restaurant as did the lady on the omelette station. Loved our time in the pool (could never tire of that view!). Only tried the family sauna, wasn’t brave enough to go commando. LOL. It was busier in the late afternoon with younger guests. The mobile phone free policy didn’t appear to be observed nor was the reserving of indoor loungers. It was lovely and quiet around lunchtime after my lovely facial and tidy up with Angelike. Pretty much had the place to myself and enjoyed taking in the stunning view and the alpine air on the outdoor terrace, sipping on lemon water. With only minor niggles, I’d rate this hotel 4.5.
